Independent Spirit Awards Coronate ‘Juno’ - SendMeRSS

Rainn WilsonIt was rain and Rainn [Wilson] Saturday afternoon in Santa Monica, as even an unseasonable downpour couldn’t dampen the spirits, or, for that matter, the Spirits — as stars braved the weather to crown the best of independent cinema at the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards.

Hosted by “Office” star Rainn Wilson, the ceremony turned into a coronation as “Juno,” the little-indie-that-could suddenly became the little indie that did, walking away with three awards including Best Feature, Best Female Lead (Ellen Page), and Best First Screenplay (Diablo Cody).

Or, as I said to Wilson outside:

“That’s one doodle you can’t undo, homeskillet.”

“I have five words in the movie and you got two of them wrong! And I made that movie,” he admonished, laughing and palling around. “C’mon!”

If Rainn wasn’t taking himself too seriously, well, neither were most of the other stars, many wearing open collar shirts and jeans. A mere 10 ft. from the beach, nominees Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Don Cheadle, Cate Blanchett, and others hung with fans — at least a few we spotted arriving after jazzercising by the water.

And we were there for the whole shebang. In between talking up independent film with many of its brightest talents, we found time to ask about future projects. Stay tuned to MTV in the coming days for exclusive news on “The Dark Knight,” “Star Trek,” “Mummy 3,” “Twilight,” and more.
